I imagine it is way too late to respond to Bob and Julian. Unfortunately I was unable to get back to this page until now.

Bob, I am saying, ( maybe I didn't express myself well enough, we only have 3,000 characters); Australian 'class' distinction is different from the UK. By comparison Australia is classless. I don’t feel I belong to any class. I make friends with friendly people that I like. I England upper class can only be friends with other upper class or possibly upper middle class at a pinch. That was back in the 50’s Julian. And remember I was reporting from an upper class family background. I am so glad I’m not a part of that any more. I am quite certain that if I were borne into a lower class or working class my perspective would be quite different.

Things have changed a lot in the UK. When I lived there, the upper class always had a ‘tradesman’s entrance. I don’t think they build modern houses with a separate entrance for tradies these days.

Please note that there is limit per post of 3,000 characters, including spaces, carriage returns and punctuation (about 500 words). Your email address will not be published.
